In cardiac tissue, electrical spiral waves pinned to a heterogeneity can be
unpinned (and eventually terminated) using electric far field pulses and
recruiting the heterogeneity as a virtual electrode. While for isotropic media
the process of unpinning is much better understood, the case of an anisotropic
substrate with different conductivities in different directions still needs
intensive investigation. To study the impact of anisotropy on the unpinning
process, we present numerical simulations based on the bidomain formulation of
the phase I of the Luo and Rudy action potential model modified due to the
occurrence of acute myocardial ischaemia. Simulating a rotating spiral wave
pinned to an ischaemic heterogeneity, we compare the success of sequences of far
field pulses in the isotropic and the anisotropic case for spirals still in
transient or in steady rotation states. Our results clearly indicate that the
range of pacing parameters resulting in successful termination of pinned spiral
waves is larger in anisotropic tissue than in an isotropic medium.This article is
part of the themed issue 'Mathematical methods in medicine: neuroscience,
cardiology and pathology'.
